Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Chang Lin left, and the hall fell into silence again.

"Your Majesty, the influence of the powerful family was mentioned by His Highness the King of Shu?" Wei Zheng asked tentatively after a moment of silence.

"Yes." Li Shimin sighed, but still nodded. It has to be said that this matter was pointed out by Li Ke. Li Shimin is not unaware of the influence of powerful families on Datang, but Li Shimin is actually an insider.

Restricted by the times, he only knew that the aristocratic family controlled Datang, but he was a little clueless about how to control it, or...he didn't think about the root cause!

And Li Ke's one sentence can be said to clarify everything.

Before, Li Shimin thought about reducing the rights of the powerful families, but he tried it, and he couldn't carry it out when he encountered a lot of resistance. He also thought about breaking the situation violently, but he couldn't kill all the powerful families in the world. You must know that almost all the ministers in the court It is related to a powerful family, how to kill?

"You didn't find anything unusual after reading this article?" Li Shimin stopped talking, but pointed to the newspaper and said.

Wei Zheng looked at it carefully, then shook his head and said, "I'm stupid."

"These punctuation marks." Li Shimin pointed out the punctuation marks.

It was only then that Wei Zheng suddenly realized that he really didn't pay attention to this before. He was used to punctuating sentences in daily reading. Wei Zheng could figure out how to punctuate sentences in his own head, so when he was reading, his brain's attention was not put here at all. .

If it wasn't for Li Shimin's words, he would have been a little confused for a while. This is the same reason that sometimes in Chinese, word order disorder does not affect reading, and the brain will automatically correct errors.

"This is also what Li Ke told me. He said that the promotion of punctuation marks can help people learn to read, but those who don't have teachers can learn by themselves, because they can understand the articles. The reason why many articles now need teachers is because There is no sentence." Li Shimin sighed.

Later, Li Shimin took the example Li Ke had given, that is, the example that Confucius said, the people can let them know what they are, and told Wei Zheng several times.

After Wei Zheng listened, he bent down and saluted directly: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the King of Shu, you are a great talent! Your Highness, the King of Shu, has a gully in his chest. This move will benefit the future and the court. His Highness the King of Shu is truly a genius! Your Majesty... You can't hit him."

"What? I want to beat him, but you want to speak out?" Li Shimin glared at him.

"Yes! Although there are many inappropriate things about His Royal Highness the King of Shu, they are not major issues, but small details, but His Royal Highness the King of Shu has made great contributions. I beg Your Majesty." Wei Zheng opened his mouth and came.

"I'm not the emperor punishing my subjects, I'm the father beating my son." Li Shimin said calmly.

"Oh, that's all right." Wei Zheng immediately stood up straight.

Li Ke:? ? ? ?

"Your Majesty, this matter is very troublesome." Wei Zheng changed the subject.

"In less than half a day, the whole city of Chang'an will definitely be full of hustle and bustle, and I don't think it will take long for a minister to come to you." Wei Zheng said.

As soon as Wei Zheng finished speaking, the voice of an eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came from outside: "Mr. Xing Xuanling seeks to see you."

The monarch and his subjects looked at each other, and Li Shimin immediately said, "Xuan."

Soon, Fang Xuanling also opened the door and walked in. When he saw Wei Zheng, he was a little surprised.

Wei Zheng usually does not participate in this kind of thing, but he thought that Wei Zheng would come first, and Fang Xuanling also quickly saw the newspaper on Li Shimin's desk.

After the monarchs and ministers saw it, Fang Xuanling did not hide it, but directly said: "Your Majesty, this matter is very troublesome. Although the article is very cryptic, all the powerful families can understand it. This touched most of the people. Minister’s interests, so tomorrow morning, someone will impeach His Highness the King of Shu, and this time it’s not the Duke of Qi’s kind of petty trouble.”

Fang Xuanling was much more straightforward. He and Li Shimin have walked all the way since the time of King Qin, and there is almost no gap between them, and the process of remonstrance is also very familiar.

"I know." Li Shimin rubbed his forehead, feeling a little headache, this bastard, he caused trouble for me every day, so he couldn't stop.

"Do you think there is any way to eliminate this matter?" Li Shimin definitely didn't want to punish Li Ke, nonsense, Li Ke's things are very useful to Li Shimin, but the timing is wrong.

And it was his own son, of course Li Shimin didn't want to punish him.

Both Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng knew, did they both suggest it just now?

"I have a solution." Fang Xuanling said.

"Say."

"Take it back to the imperial court." Fang Xuanling made a suggestion.

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin's expression froze immediately, because the scene of Li Ke betting with him immediately appeared in front of his eyes.

Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng:?

Both of them were a little confused. This suggestion is very good. Why did His Majesty react so strongly?

"Your Majesty... is there something wrong?" Fang Xuanling was a little suspicious, but still asked a question tentatively.

"Your Majesty, I think Xing Guogong's method is very good. If it is nationalized, His Royal Highness the King of Shu will be compensated. The Datang Weekly will be managed by the Hongwen Museum, and various scholars will control its publication content. This weekly newspaper is actually a good thing. It is conducive to guiding public opinion, and the common people have a better understanding of the national policy of the Tang Dynasty, and the many measures of the imperial court, the people can also know." Wei Zheng said.

Li Shimin: "..."

I know it's pretty damn good, the problem is... I just said that if I want to take your stuff, I'll give you the entire title system...

This slap came so fast!

"Must it be?" Li Shimin was a little confused.

"This is the best way, or shut it down directly." Fang Xuanling was a little surprised, and he asked again: "What is your Majesty hiding?"

Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, and immediately repeated what he had said to Li Ke.

Fang Xuanling: "..."

Wei Zheng: "..."

The two were completely speechless, good guy, the two of them called him good guy, dare you wait here?His Royal Highness the King of Shu, is this accurate? !The two of them also recalled it now, and His Royal Highness the King of Shu must have had the idea of ​​Datang Weekly at that time.

But think about it, how could such a thing be done overnight.

"Did I fall for it?" Li Shimin rolled his eyes.

"This... In fact, this matter is not difficult to handle. I think all the courtiers will definitely agree with it! But this is also a robbery of the property of the courtiers, so when the time comes, when His Majesty proposes compensation, it will be for most of the ministers. It is said that the lesser of two evils, so they will definitely agree to this title system."

"Because this title system can't affect the overall situation, not to mention it's still in name only." Fang Xuanling said after some consideration, pretending not to hear Li Shimin's question.

Li Shimin: "..." Why don't I know this truth? Is this the point of the question?The point is that I was tricked by this rebel again!

No, I'm so mad, I want to beat him up!
